Trail Cam

 I am back in Connecticut, housebound from the minor effects of Tropical Storm Henri.  (We got lucky.)  So, I spent time checking the images captured over the past week on my new trail camera.  

My property abuts a stream and a preserve.  The bottom of the property is wild, with ferns and skunk cabbage . . . food for deer.  There were 354 images, most blurred or obscured.  But, some were fun to see.

This young doe passes through the property regularly, several times a day.  She is often accompanied by one or two fawns.  The fawns also visit by themselves, but I didn't like any of their images.

A young doe and a young buck passed through in the late morning.

The trail cam photographs with infra-red light after dark.  The nighttime images are much grainier and the shutter speed is slower, often producing blur.  But, this image of a deer was decent.

I wonder if I will capture a bear sometime.  One was in the neighborhood three weeks ago.

  3. You've got some nice images there. I've often thought of getting a Trailcam for the deer that visit me. No bears though, thank goodness.
